The weather has been pretty nice on the whole and we've been spending a lot of time outside. Brennan loves his playhouse and occupies himself by going in and out of the front door, collecting rocks around it and talking on the phone.
He has taken a liking to pulling the wagon along the sidewalk on his own. He likes to collect twigs, rocks and pine cones as we walk. He often stops to smell flowers and water the bushes with his sippy cup. I let him walk on his own as long as he stays on the sidewalk. The other day, it took us nearly an hour to make the mile loop around our circle. I just try to be patient and live in the moment of the joy he is finding in exploring the neighborhood.
Occasionally, I will indulge him in "science experiments" as seen in this video, where he is playing with ice and water. This isn't the greatest video, but will give my mom a chance to hear his voice and devilish little laugh. He also likes to help cook and I try to involve him with food preparation whenever possible. He does a good job at helping put EVOO and salt on potatoes before they go into the oven for roasting!We recently made a trip up to the Pittsburgh suburbs to visit our friends, Sara and Kenny, and their two year old daughter, Meghan. Can you guess who is having more fun in this picture? (Yes, that is two grown men in a playhouse.)
Brennan thoroughly enjoyed playing with their dogs, Reagan and Ike.
Last, but not least, Uncle Paul came down for a visit and brought Brennan an African shirt, hand made in Ghana by women in Global Mamas, a fair trade organization helping women in Africa achieve economic independence. Thanks Paul! 
We have also had numerous playdates and lunch dates. It's been a fun, but busy couple of weeks, which is why it's been hard to get online. Hope you enjoyed the catch up!

Adorable, as always!! I think I need to let Meghan help more with food prep. Well, that would involve cooking dinner, something I have been lax on lately. hahaha
